VENUE » City
Rosario is one of the main urban centers of Argentina, and the largest city in the Province of Santa Fe. It is situated in the center-east of the country, on the right bank of the Paraná River, equally close to all the regions of Argentina.

Rosario is an strategic point in the South American Bi-Oceanic Corridor (pathway) that extends from the Atlantic (Brazil and Uruguay) to the Pacific Ocean (Chile) and in the Paraná River Waterway, joining the vast coastal region of Argentina (Provinces of Misiones, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Chaco, Formosa and Santa Fe) and the Northern part of the country, which borders with Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. The city is, therefore, highly important within MERCOSUR (Southern Common Market).

With a population of approximately 1,200,000, the city of Rosario is part of an economically very important region as nearly 70% of the cereals production of the country is exported from the city port. There are highways that link it to Buenos Aires (300km; 186 miles), Córdoba (400 km; 249 miles) and to the city of Santa Fe (150 km; 93 miles) and it has an international airport.

Culture, entertainment, nature, good food and relax come together in this city that is cradle of several internationally renowned artists and athletes. Rosario offers a wide variety of touristic infrastructure and invites all visitors to travel through historical circuits that keep intact the different architectural styles of the early twentieth century.

It also has important museums and libraries, and its infrastructure includes architectonic circuits and walks along the boulevards and spacious parks that give the distinctiveness of a big city.

The Flag Memorial is perhaps the starting point for a walk through the city center. The resort Costa Alta and Embarcadero is chosen to take walks on the banks of the river in the evenings.

The Independence Park and the Balneario La Florida are some of the many points of notoriety where it is possible to take bike rides, horseback riding and boating, among other activities.

With a first class port, with extensive piers, it is worth seeing the dock cabotage and the grain elevators operating.

The meeting places, cultural and academic activities, fun and recreation, have the variety needed to satisfy all tastes and ages. Moreover, Rosario night is recognized as one of the most lively and cheerful, perfect to enjoy pleasant moments in the various bars, pubs and nightclubs in the city.
